You gotta be 'rolling in it' as hotel prices spike ahead of this weekend's Oasis gigs
You've got to have money to burn, as hotel prices spike ahead of this weekend's two-night sold-out Oasis concerts at Croke Park, with a bog-standard room in a city centre hotel costing upwards of €400 per night.
As Oasis fever grips the nation, with the band's highly-anticipated reunion tour, fans travelling from outside of Dublin will be forced to fork out hundreds if they plan to stay overnight.
The Clayton Group have limited availability in their D4 hotels, located on Burlington Road and The Merrion Road in Ballsbridge, with a standard room, excluding breakfast, costing €399.
Also in the leafy environs of Ballsbridge, the salubrious five-star Intercontinental Hotel, located across the Liffey, from Croke Park, has rooms for both the Saturday and Sunday, of the Oasis back-to-back gigs.
But with room rates starting at €769 you want to be flush with cash to bag an overnight at The Intercontinental Hotel.

Other hotels dotted around Dublin City Centre are also showing limited availability for both nights, with the lowest prices coming in at around €300.
But die-hard Oasis fans and gig-goers who are travelling from around the country, may have no problem in paying inflated hotel prices, for what is gearing up to be a once-in-a-lifetime music extravaganza from one of the most infamous musical acts on planet rock.
Over 80,000 fans are expected to descend on Dublin this weekend for the two night Oasis Croke Park spectacular with the Mancunian band expected on stage to start their two-hour set around 8.15 with the rock n roll ending at around 10.30pm
